USA negotiators, headed by Washington's current ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim, met with North Korean counterparts in the truce village of Panmunjom that divides the two Koreas on Sunday.

Despite repeated references to "denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula" by the North, it remains unclear whether Kim will ever agree to fully abandon his nuclear arsenal.

Kim Sung-han, professor of global relations at Korea University, saidTrump will have difficulty accepting any conditions from North Korea, partly because he had been so critical of the Iran nuclear deal.

The second meeting between Kim and Moon in as many months reflects urgency among both men to maintain momentum for diplomacy.

Mr Kim and Mr Moon held talks in the demilitarised zone separating their two nations on Saturday in a scramble to salvage the summit.

The WashingtonPost, citing a person familiar with the arrangements, said Mr Sung Kim, a former USA ambassador to South Korea and former nuclear negotiator with the North, was leading the United States team, which met Mr Choe Son Hui, the North Korean vice-foreign minister. "I truly believe North Korea has brilliant potential and will be a great economic and financial Nation one day".

The source said agreement to hold the talks was reached between Washington and Pyongyang "through a separate channel" from a surprise summit between Kim Jong-un and President Moon Jae-in on Saturday.

But within 24 hours, he had reversed course, saying it could still go ahead after productive talks were held with North Korean officials.

The news of an American delegation in the North was later confirmed by the U.S. State Department.

As the rapprochement with the United States has picked up pace, Kim Yong Chol appears to have taken on a broader remit to deal with the Trump administration.

In a conciliatory statement on Friday aimed at getting the summit back on track, North Korea said it favoured a "Trump formula" to resolve tensions and praised the president for agreeing to meet Mr Kim.
